Comprising a total of 106,500 square feet and 113 apartments, the two 1930s six-story elevator apartment buildings are completely rent-stabilized. Each property went for $10 million.

“They are well-maintained buildings in good locations, with rents averaging around $1,100 per apartment,” Amit Doshi of Besen & Associates, the lone broker in the deal, said in prepared remarks. “Solid as a rock, [they have] measurable growth potential for the long term.”
